ReferenceError: Cannot access 'TokenFarm' before initialization while migrating solidity file

Question

intial_deploy_contract.js file

const DappToken = artifacts.require('DappToken.sol')
const DaiToken = artifacts.require('DaiToken.sol')
const TokenFarm = artifacts.require('TokenFarm.sol')

module.exports = async function(deployer, network, accounts) {
  //Deploy Mock DAI Token
  await deployer.deploy(DaiToken)
  const daiToken = await DaiToken.deployed()

  //Deploy Dapp Token
  await deployer.deploy(DappToken)
  const dappToken = await DappToken.deployed()

  //Deploy TokenFarm
  await deployer.deploy(TokenFarm, dappToken.address, daiToken.address)
  const TokenFarm = await TokenFarm.deployed()

  //Transfer all tokens to TokenFarm(1 million)
  await dappToken.transfer(tokenFarm.address, '1000000000000000000000000')

  //Transfer 100 Mock DAI tokens to investor
  await daiToken.transfer(accounts[1], '100000000000000000000')

 };'

TokenFarm.sol File

 pragma solidity ^0.5.0;

 import "./DappToken.sol";
 import "./DaiToken.sol";

 contract TokenFarm {
   //All code goes here...
   string public name = "Dapp Token Farm";
   DappToken public dappToken;
   DaiToken public daiToken;

  constructor(DappToken _dappToken, DaiToken _daiToken) public {
      //Storing reference to the DappToken and DaiToken
      dappToken = _dappToken;
      daiToken = _daiToken;
  }
}

The file gets compile successfully but when migrated using truffle migrate --reset it is showing the ReferenceError as

You have defined the TokenFarm (uppercase T) on this line

const TokenFarm = artifacts.require('TokenFarm.sol')

Then you're trying to re-assign it on this line

const TokenFarm = await TokenFarm.deployed()

Solution: Assign to another const name (for example tokenFarm - lowercase T) instead of re-assigning the already existing TokenFarm.

const tokenFarm = await TokenFarm.deployed()
